This is my second summer in Virginia and I didnt have this problem last year but for the past month I have been getting insect bites on different spots in my body, they get swollen, red and itchy...the last one though has scared me, it's on my arm and it grew bigger and bigger yesterday ..now it's as big as half-avocado (it really looks like one too as it's oval) it's red and aches!!! Itches very little! I kinda have a high tolerance for pain but it's being scary

I posted an earlier question asking if anyone had a child with OSA, I never got a reasponse so now I have another queastion. I took my daughter to her primary care (this is the first time he has seen her). I told him I was concerend with the syptoms she has and he brushed it off, like it was no big deal. he took 5 mins to look her over and dismissed us. Do you think I should hound him aout it or find a new doctor?

I'm 16 and sometimes, if im sitting or lying down watching tv or something, or even if im just walking around and turn my head, not quickly or anything, just turn it. I sometimes get a sharp quick pain on the left hand side of my neck, allmost like a trapped a nerve or something. Anyway, thanks in advance.

My hand, fingers and thumb are all very swollen. I am taking 800mg Ibuprofen for this (doesn't seem to be working). I am wearing a Futoro sling (not too tight). My physical therapy starts next week. are there any excercises for my hand that I can start now? Can't bend my thumb and forefinger because it hurts, should I try bending it with the other hand? How long will it take to be able to use my hand again? I thought getting the cast off would be the end of my troubles.

I was at the movies last night and while I was at the sink, a guy walks out of a stall and straight out of the bathroom, bypassing the sink entirely.

I admit that I am a bit obsessive about hand washing. Still. I see this often and I am always completely disgusted. The guy is now going to shake hands with people, hug his girlfriend, stick his hands in the popcorn... uuugggh.

To those who relate to the guy leaving the stall: How hard is it to just wash your hands, people? C'mon. In the name of sanitation, and sanity, please wash your hands.

I've given him Motrin and it will break but come back again. It's reached 103 twice. Dr. also said it could be an infection but didn't find one and didn't prescribe anything. He could be teething, but I haven't known of teething fevers being this high. His appetite is okay but tires easily. He's still playing but I can tell he doesn't feel good.

My dad has been a pretty sick guy for years. He is a 71 year old man who has a kidney disease and now has been told that he has to take dialysis. He has a few other illnesses, he has osteoporosis, which usually affects women, and rheumatiod arthritis and cannot walk very well and cannot do a lot with his hands which are almost completly closed and crooked from his painful condition. My dad does not say much and never complains I worry so much about him. I would just like to know what his chances are without coming right out and asking him. ANY info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

My fiancé gets bad migraines often. Does any one know any ways to treat or get rid of them? What are some none-medicine approaches? Can any foods, activities, or resting positions help? Give me as much info as you can, thank you very much!

I do on a regular basis, and even though I don't enjoy it at all, it gives me a great sense of satisfaction to know how many lives I could save.
